iMac G3 and Divx and subtitles? Its possible. That is proof: Mac OS 9.2.2 + QuickTime Pro 6.0.3 + Divix/Xvid codecs + Poczytaj mi mamo (plug-in to subtitles).
My own film from my offfice.

No proof of QuickTime Pro here - could easily be just AppleDVDPlayer (which HAS subtitle support without plugins).
hmmmm....

Cool video Tatamisia! What exactly are your settings, what are your system specs?

It's proof. Belive me. I made this film in my office 
Mac OS 9.2.2
QuickTime Pro 6.0.3
Divix 5 installed
Divix 4 extension in Extensions folder
AC3 extension in Extensions folder
3ivx 4 in QuickTime Extensions folder
Poczytaj Mi Mamo (Read Me Mom) - QT plug-in for subtitles
I have inspiration from here:

Thanks for the post, TataMisia. Its useful to know about DiVX play on 9.2.2
About the AppleDVD Player on OS 9; It will only install onto G4's (maybe some G3 books too?) with an Apple supplied DVD ROM drive. But a custom patch was made available for running the DVD player 2.7 on unsupported hardware. G3s? I don't know, perhaps.
To get it onto unsupported hardware you need to use TomeViewer to extract the player and its required files and install them manually, then apply the patch.
I'm using this patched version on my Beige G3 - but this beige has a Sonnet G4 upgrade, which is why I don't know if it will run on G3s. It certainly is unsupported hardware though.

DVDPlayer is installed if your machine has a DVD drive (when installing OS9.x)
I have put DVD drives in an iMac G3 (only a reader, but it works). There is a software patch to get selected CD/DVD burners to work from OS9/X (I believe generic burner support was added in 10.3?)
So it is possible - although the link supplied is a bit out of date.
DivX5.11 the latest version available?

If no one believes TataMisia, search in Macintosh Garden "Read for Me, Mom (DivX Subtitle Utility)" and check it out for themselves.

Oryginal name of this plugin is "Poczytaj mi mamo" ("Read for me, Mom"). Its Polish work. Support for diffrent codepages. Great.

Yep. Almost I forgot to put the both titles.

At least, in my iMac G3 (2000) it can run the Apple DVD Player with the patch...
...

And you are making the question "How did you do it, if the iMac doesn't have a DVD-ROM Drive?".
Easy! Put a VIDEO_TS folder in a HFS+ formatted 8GB stick drive. An external DVD-ROM Reader should work, too.

Any issues with playback because of the slower USB 1.1 speeds? - There's no USB 2.0 support in Mac OS 9.x
